Abstract
A quick release adapter for connecting a cable release or self-timer to a camera and applying a shutter operating force to the shutter button of the camera. The force transmitting mechanism includes an overtravel spring to minimize malfunctions that might occur because of differences in tolerances between cameras, adapters and accessories. The adapter comprises a housing embracing the lensboard of the camera and being detachably connectable to the camera by means of a cam operated latch.
